You’re…not the one that I want.
So, I’m over The Apprentice. This season has just jumped the shark so incredibly far there is no hope of saving it. Part of me was appalled when Michelle smiled and quit and didn’t seem to grasp what she was doing (to her own cred, and the jeopardy she was putting her own team in) and part of me wanted to stand up and cheer. “I didn’t sign up for this crap and I’m not taking any more.” Ahahahahahahahahaaha. I sort of thought it was hilarious. Which was when I realized I really didn’t want to watch this show anymore. Not that I ever liked His Hairdom, but I found the premise of the show interesting despite him. Now? Not so much. Not even a little. Which Michelle’s defection sort of summed up for me. So…buh bye, Apprentice. Someone else can blog ya. Won’t be me.
On the night’s other reality program, Grease, we narrow things down to our 12 finalists, who will start competing next week in an American Idol kinda way for our votes. I thought it was sort of odd that we spent as long as we did on the audition phase, then just wham! down to 12 in one hour. If that’s all the air time we had, then I wanted more of the academy experience and a lot less of the audition phase. I thought it was interesting to see the grueling schedule they were being put through, and what they had to accomplish. (Although that tap on the shoulder thing while they kept singing the same song over….and over….and over….was wrong in so many ways.)
I still wish I knew I teeny tiny bit more about the contestants as, though there are some who stand out a bit more than others, I can’t say I’m attached or rooting for anyone specifically. I still like the premise, like the show, and look forward to where it goes next…but I wish I was more excited about the folks trying to win it. I think they’ll do fine with whoever wins the role of Sandy. Danny, I’m not so sure about. I can’t believe those 6 guys were the best they could do. Although, it appears there is some huge twist next week. I fear they’re going to bring in theater vets to compete with them - which nicely covers David Ian’s 10 million dollar investment, but is incredibly unfair to the process of the show and what it promised these kids…and us viewers. We’ll see. But I will keep watching this one. Eventually I might even remember their names!
Tune in tomorrow for this week’s SHaQ Attack contest!
It would have been more interesting seeing more of the academy. It was great watching David Ian get so much more out of the singers he worked with one on one, wish they showed more of that. I could never be a judge because I’m to much of a softie to just go and tap someone on the shoulder in front of everyone!
I’m so glad I’m not the only one who can’t remember their names.
Drat! I forgot to watch it. Guess that shows how into it I am. LOL
At least Idol is on tomorrow night.
